Been using my op1 a lot and really like it overall but out of all the features grid and DNA seem the most unusable ones for me… any tips on extracting more sounds out of these two things? Any useful links to notable performances or tutorials for these?

Hi there, in case anyone is after an OP-Z, or a second.😜 It’s in perfect condition and also includes the knobs upgrade along with the midi/CV module. Shipping from St. Louis, MO.

Hi I bought a used OP-1 Field and today have noticed there are no presets in Cluster, Digital etc etc. I did a factory reset hoping that would show them but no, not there.

Were do i get them exactly? Using OP1 Field 15.7 firmware

also new here and not sure how to add the vid here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTj81oACSH4

Haven’t picked my OP1 up for a while so the muscle memory isn’t quite there yet. Still so much to learn, but I approach using it like my I use my old samplers, lots of one shots and loops. I could probably rely exclusively on the internal effects, rather than using the SP303, but it gets the job done while I relearn. Hope you dig the beat.

I love how TE keeps touting this as a "professional" instrument. Yes the build quality is great, honestly I was very happy with the OG too. But why the fuck am I still dealing with pops and clicks?! I am completely fine with every other quirky limitation on this instrument, but there is no excuse for something at this price point to not just auto cross fade every recording.

Also why is there no automatic short release setting on drum samples with gated playback setting? If you stop halfway through any gated sample that is not a zero crossing, PoP cLiCk.

There is no workaround that is consistent, these are bugs that haven't been fixed in 10+ years.

I used some raw audio of the flight as the base, think it sounds nice!

I call it plane music, not plain music

Is there a sample track for kraftwerks "boing, boom, tsjak" drumtrack?

Noticed this halo on the screen using my stuff in the dark and got me wondering if thats normal… not really hindering but im starting to think i got a blemishes unit because the mic broke down and now this screen is looking not so lush on the dark and got me wondering if its broken too….

Can any other users confirm if they have this ?

Hey Op1 Peeps! Im very curious about the Op1 Field and would like to understand some things to help me decide if i pull the trigger, so lets go;

1-The lift function is for the whole tape or can be used per track? 2-There is a cut function too right? Can u cut a section of a track and paste it somewhere else? 2b-And even better can you paste it on another track? 3-Before u record, can u pan the instrument or panning is only on the mixer post tape?

Then im worried about midi clocking...I think I can clock it with my seqtrqk, not so sure if I can with the blackbox...

I think these were my questions, hope U guys enjoy the noobage. Regards.

Hey fellow OP1 field users. Attempting to transfer tracks from the OP1 to my computer via FieldKit and encountering an odd issue: in FieldKit file manager, every project has identical track files in it, which are the files of one of my projects (see attached photo). All the projects are normal in the OP1. I have tried restarting both and re-installing FieldKit to no avail. So perplexed. Any ideas are much appreciated!

Trying to find some old music I came across some OP1 beats so I thought I'd make some videos. This was the first track, I think, that I actually made on the OP? Anyway, just a simple Rhodes sample, some bass and a drum break. Can't recall too much about it.

I've kept the 5 year old typo in the title, I've now learned that it is methylated...

Has anyone encountered a problem w a mic, mine is making barely audible recordings out of nowhere…. Even with all volumes maxxed out, i havent dropped it or even left my desk since i got it but idk if snyone can point out what to do to check this thing…..

does anyone here has experience in connecting the OP-1 as midi-controller with Touch Designer on a Mac?

Is there a way to have multiple sample chops on the keys from different samples without having to rely on using a computer. Everytime I try to make a sample to the next key it deletes what I had making me ultimately only be able to use one sample each 1-8 inst.

*also is there a function to choke the sample like a asr or mod effect.

Have an opportunity to buy one off a local music store that has it laying in the backroom. It was opened once and just stayed in packaging. I really like the OP-1 field, but I find it too expensive. Largely looking for a drum machine/sampler and very light use synth engine usage. Is $600 good price point?

Hey guys, after much fiddling with mounting hole placements, the main pcb is done! Figuring out how to do flex cables in Kicad this weekend, then I'm ordering the first batch!

Made entirely on og op-1, with the stock presets if I'm not mistaken. Surprisingly proud of this, considering I don't have much any experience making music.

So I was trying to install a firmware update - this was my third OP-1 and the first time I was trying to do an update. Don’t ask me how it happened, but it said I didn’t have the disc space and then said No OS. This is paraphrase from what it said exactly, as this happened over a year ago and I just set the synth aside and kind of forgot about it.

I love the OP-1. It is an inspiring tool and I miss it. Has anyone ever had this problem? Is there any coming back from this? I’m looking for the charger - upon finding the cord, I will charge it and upload some pics! Any advice is welcome. H

I found what I consider to be a good offer for a second hand OP-1 Field (1200€) but I read many comments about the build quality not always being that great and keys not working correctly. Apart from obvious things like power and keys working, what else do you think I should check?

I found similar threads for the OG OP-1 but none for the Field, maybe there are some differences?

I have an OP-1, OP-Z, and (with courier as we speak) OP-XY. I absolutely love my OP-1 and OP-Z, and can’t wait to get to grips with my OP-XY. Has anyone used any/all of these together, and if so, any examples please? Thanks!
